Hello! I am so happy to be here and tell you a little about myself. I have been a certified teacher and reading specialist for over two decades and greatly enjoy creating and teaching courses that are fun for the students, packed with value, and super engaging! I am a kind and encouraging teacher, and I love to acknowledge every success in the classroom-big and small! I have created the following curriculum with your learner in mind! For preschoolers just beginning to learn letters and sounds, I recommend starting with my PreK course that covers not only reading, but also math, science, and social studies content. For those students who do not need an entire Pre-K course or those that know letters and sounds and are ready to begin reading CVC words, I recommend taking my ongoing classes in the following order starting with the first class (Feel free to copy and paste or scroll down past this profile to go directly to the class links). For those learners who know most CVC words or can easily sound those words out, I recommend beginning with the second class. 

1. Pre-K & Kinder: Complete Curriculum & Circle Time (Meets 4 Times per Week). This is an ongoing, YEAR-ROUND course where we will cover all standards for PreK and most Kinder standards as well. Your learner can jump in at any time and not be behind.

2. Let's Learn to Read (Beginners): Blending and Reading CVC Words in Word Families (eighteen-week content rotation cycle) This course is also available as a FLEXible 10-week course option for those that would like to take this class but can't find the class time you need.

4. Sight Word Science: A Better Way! Learning Tricky Parts by Heart (Kinder/First)   (16-week content rotation cycle) This class can be taken in conjunction with my Bossy E class if your learner has a good grasp of CVC words, letters, and sounds.

5.  First Grade Reading Skills: (Beyond CVC and Silent E) Diphthongs, Digraphs, Vowel Teams, and Blends (20-week content rotation cycle). This class can be taken in conjunction with Sight Word Science if students have a good grasp of CVC and CVCe words.

6. Reading Fluency Practice: Increasing Fluency with Fun Timed Challenges Using First and Second-Grade Fiction and Nonfiction Passages: This class can be taken in conjunction with Sight Words Made Easy if your child has a good foundation of CVC and CVCe words. It is ideal for students in first and second grade or very strong readers in kindergarten. This is an ongoing class that meets once a week.

8.  2nd Grade Reading Comprehension: This class is for students in first grade who are strong readers, students on second-grade reading level, or students in third grade who may need a little extra help.  This class focuses heavily on comprehension, so if your child needs fluency practice, see my previous three classes on this list! This is an ongoing class that meets once per week covering the five big comprehension skills (direct recall, inferences/predictions, unfamiliar vocabulary using context clues, main idea and details, and sequencing) using second-grade fiction and nonfiction passages.

9.  Reading Fluency: Fun Timed Reading Challenges With 3rd Grade Passages. This class is ideal for students who are reading at a higher 2nd-grade level or a lower 3rd-grade level, or those who have taken my first fluency class using first and second-grade passages.

I am a certified teacher, certified to teach grades K-8 in all subjects, as well as grades 9-12 in reading.  I have taught in public, private, homeschool, and online school settings. I have been teaching for more than 20 years, and I also spent ten years simultaneously traveling the U.S. as an educational consultant training teachers in classroom management, behavior management, and reading strategies. I have taught all core subjects in grades K4-8, as well as reading intervention in grades 9-12. I hold an internationally recognized TESOL certification and have been teaching ESL to children ages 3-16 online since June 2018.  I love to connect with students and help them discover and nurture a love of reading. I have two children, ages 9 and 18, a miniature schnauzer named Maggie, a Catahoula kerr named Chief, and two cats named Echo and Jesse! I'm excited to meet your child in class.
